Senior/Manager EMT Studies Manager

About ETP

EdgeTunePower Inc. (ETP) develops power system controls and provides real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing for data centres, microgrids, battery energy storage systems, renewable generation, and other power system applications. Our work connects electrical models with physical controllers and protection equipment to evaluate system performance before equipment is commissioned in the field.

Senior/Manager EMT Studies Manager

Location: Remote – Canada | Job type: Full-time | Workspace: Remote | Reports to: [Director of Power System Studies]

About the Role

We are looking for a senior EMT specialist to lead ETP's PSCAD work on AI data centers, large loads and IBR plants. You will own studies end to end, be the technical face of ETP to clients, utilities and OEMs, and build and lead a team of PSCAD engineers.

The role suits someone who enjoys both the engineering and the people side: setting the technical direction, reviewing and signing off work, growing junior engineers, and turning new ideas into tools and services in a fast-paced, R&D-driven environment. Title (Senior Engineer or Manager) will match experience.

Responsibilities

Client and project leadership

• Serve as technical lead and main contact for clients, including developers, hyperscalers, EPCs, utilities and OEMs.
• Scope studies, write proposals and estimates, and agree assumptions and deliverables with clients.
• Present results in client meetings and to utilities/ISOs, and defend study findings in technical reviews.
• Manage schedule, budget and quality across several concurrent projects.

Technical ownership

• Lead complex EMT studies in PSCAD: AI load oscillations and ride-through, islanded and grid-connected data center operation, weak-grid and control interaction, SSR/SSCI/SSO, TOV/TRV, energization and mitigation design (GFM BESS, synchronous condensers, supercapacitors, controls).
• Set modeling standards and review IBR, generator, load and network models, including vendor and OEM models.
• Lead model quality and validation work: MQT, PSCAD–PSS®E benchmarking, and checks against utility and ISO model requirements.
• Provide final technical review and QC of reports before they go to clients.

People management

• Hire, mentor and manage a team of junior and intermediate PSCAD engineers.
• Assign work, set priorities and run structured review so juniors improve with every report.
• Set performance goals, give regular feedback and support career growth.

Innovation and R&D

• Drive new study methods, model libraries and automation for data center and IBR work.
• Support ETP products and platforms (controllers, assessment tools, HIL test beds) with EMT expertise.
• Represent ETP through webinars, papers, conferences and working groups.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; Master's or PhD in power systems strongly preferred.
• 5+ years of power system studies experience, with at least 5 years of hands-on PSCAD/EMTDC work.
• Proven record leading EMT studies for IBRs, large loads or complex grid integration.
• Strong understanding of inverter controls (GFL and GFM), machine dynamics and power system stability.
• Experience reviewing and signing off others' work, and mentoring or leading engineers.
• Comfortable in client-facing roles: proposals, meetings, presentations and handling pushback.
• Excellent technical writing and communication.
• Python or MATLAB for automation and data analysis.
• P.Eng. (any Canadian provincial association) or PE, or eligibility to register within a defined period.

Nice to Have

• Data center, AI-load or large-load study experience — a strong plus.
• MQT and model validation experience for OEMs, developers or utilities.
• Detailed IBR modeling: plant controllers, GFM, BESS, hybrid plants.
• Working knowledge of NERC standards and registration topics (e.g., MOD-026/027/032, PRC-024/029, TPL-001, emerging large-load and IBR requirements) and ISO/RTO interconnection processes.
• RTDS/RSCAD, HIL or commissioning experience.
• Publications, patents, or active roles in IEEE/CIGRE/NERC working groups.
